The Rams Goats and Seers song

Unread post by David McCarthy »

OK..time for a chuckle,
These lyrics were sent to me recently,
I can hear Maddy Prior doing a great rendition....
Anyway..here is a musical treat by Steeleye Span
YouTube - - All Around My Hat 1976)

David.
The following lyrics are very naughty, and should really be set to some 'dancing round the maypole/morris dancing' sort of music.

RAMS GOATS AND SEERS

Come dance, lads and lassies, around the May Pole,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
For I heard it tell JZK sold her soul,
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

Let you gather together and focus your ears,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
And hark to the story of Rams, Goats and Seers,
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

A Ram and a Goat were out walking one night,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
When they secretly met by a neighbourhood light.
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"Hey, it's all going good!", said the Ram to the Goat,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"Expected it would, though I don't mean to gloat."
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"There's only one problem I still have to fix",
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
And the Ram Creature sighed, as he fiddled with sticks.
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"My daughteren's fussing, she's asking for more"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"If she gets no more money, she'll lock up the door."
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"Oh dear," said the Goat, "I think that's a bit rich!"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"I don't often pay for a mere psychic witch."
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"Tell you what, though, I think I can help with this goal."
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"Could she be persuaded to sell me her soul?"
Oh, nay, nony no, nonny-nonny.

"Well, master, I wonder how much you would pay?"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"Would you want all the documents signed the same day?"
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"Too right + bring her soul-force attached to some chains",
With a nay and a no and a nonny,
"I'll rent it to demons and double my gains!"
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

The Ram, of course, bargained to get a fair price,
With a nay and a no and a nonny,
(JZK on the astral was playing with dice!)
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"Hey ho", said the Goat, "Shall we share a pact pipe?"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"With cherry tobacco, so fragrant and ripe?"
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.

"I'd like a good brandy, but red wine will suit"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"To us both", said the Ram, "and 'So Be It, to boot!",
Oh, nay, nonny no nonny-nonny.

KERRRRR-CHINGGGGG
But he has nothing on at all, cried at last the whole people....

This really made me laugh, because if you take out all the "nonny" lines, and repeat the second to last couplet, it sings up very nicely to the tune of 'All around my hat'. How funny is that? :lol: :lol:
